Analysis
Niger recorded 3.77 million t for grassland — burning crop residues in 2024. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
That represents a change of up 96.5% on the previous year and up 177.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, grassland — burning crop residues in Niger peaked at 3.77 million t in 2024 and was at its lowest, 622,047 t, in 1998.
That places Niger 27th out of 220 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
